Use Mink Realty as your Buyer’s agent and I will give you 50% of my commission at closing!
How Does the home buyer rebate work?
When a seller lists their home for sale with a Realtor they usually agree to pay 6% (commission varies) commission at closing. Half or typically 3% goes to the listing agent & the other half or 3% goes to the buyers agent (Mink Realty). I simply split my commission with you as an incentive for you to work with me! If the listing agent gives only 2 1/2% cooperating commission, Mink Realty receives 1 1/2% and the buyer receives 1%. However I do NOT show you homes. You have to do your own homework and narrow down the homes that you are interested in. If you are willing to do the work yourself to find the home that you want to purchase, then we can work together to help you save money when buying your next home.

11.Mink Realty does NOT attend closings – it is not necessary!
12.Mink Realty does not attend home inspections or view the home in any way
13.Mink Realty does not show homes to Buyers. The listing agent must agree to show the home or the buyer must attend an open house to gain access. Mink Realty does not gain access to the home for the buyer once there is an accepted contract. Mink Realty does not go to the home for any reason!
Buyer’s Responsibilities:
1.Buyer must call and inform the listing agent that you are represented by Mink Realty
2.Buyer must call the listing agent and ask them to show their listing to you or you can attend open house
3.Buyer must be pre-approved or have proof of funds if paying CASH
4.Buyer must schedule a home inspection with a home inspection company of their choice and let me know the date and time so I can coordinate that with the listing agent. This includes any home, termite, radon, septic, roof, specific HVAC or any other specific inspections that need to be done inside the inspection time frame set forth in the purchase contract. You can preview the property during the home inspection.
5.Buyer must email me a detail LIST of specific items they would like to include in the repair request. They may ask the seller to make such repairs OR they may ask for a price reduction in lieu of repair (which I recommend). I will copy and paste your request onto a “formal repair request” and send it to you to sign electronically”. This must be completed within the time frame that is stated in the purchase contract.
